Lucrezia's husband returns from Naples to his pregnant wife, as ordered by the Holy Father. He regathers the family in Rome, and the child is born, christened Rodrigo. Cesare is appointed commander of the papal armies and summoned to quell a rebellion against the pope; he finds that Lucrezia's husband is conspiring against him. A plot to kill Pope Alexander is thwarted; Cesare defeats the cities of Imola and Forli and brings Caterina Sforza to Rome in triumph. An imprisoned nobleman, whose estates have been given to Lucrezia, is poisoned and her husband is attacked; Cesare is blamed. When Alfonzo is killed, Cesare threatens his father with exposure of honor-destroying secrets of the family, securing the pope's silence. Alexander counsels Lucrezia to cease grieving, but she vows never to forgive her father and brother. Starring: Adolfo Celi, Oliver Cotton.

01:00The End
01:30Cardinal Sforza's arms are still displayed there. We must change them. Good as can you. You will never see these walls again.
02:00The End
02:29The End is your belly. It will be a boy. We know. Father, how can you be certain? Remember what I say. We are never wrong. Don Alfonso, Benedict.
02:59It was the light of these eyes. They should have thrown you here. Not my messenger.
03:07I am assured, Your Holiness, that I need never fear you.
03:12If you remain a faithful husband, what should you fear from us?
03:17I bring you news.
03:25It is the duke and Cardinal Sforza who must flee in terror. Whilst we disport ourselves in Nephi, Ascanius' castles. Dearest Lucrezia, our gift to you.
03:46There was no treasure in Cardinal Sforzisco when Louis entered Milan. We learned this from Cesare's letter. The duke had a special chest with locks made by Da Vinci, but they were unsecured and emptied.
04:04Two hundred and forty thousand ducats in gold. His jewels, pearls, all gone. The French will spoil Milan. Their soldiers spit on the floor and outrage women in the streets.
04:19Barbarians.
04:20Oh yes, we know them. We know them. And Cesare is warned by us. He understands it, but he must have an army. We desire above all else to make him a great lord.
04:32They hailed him in Milan as Duke Valentino. The people shouted in the streets.
04:40Lord of what? What state can Cesare win for himself?
04:45That's how a little bird began to sing of politics.
04:50You thought that Cesare would make himself the king of Naples. And you, Alfonso. And you. So did the king.
05:01You see, you see how little you understand us. Are we not Spanish, too?
05:07The Borgia Bull and the arms of Waragum are united in both your marriages.
05:11Yes. That was the message that Captain Servian here took to the king.
05:15And that's why the king allowed you to come to Nappy. Is it not so?
05:19It was so, Holy Father.
05:20You see.
05:24And yet, Holy Father, you do not answer.
05:28Regret?
05:28Yes.
05:29Quest?
05:30Yes.
05:32Very well.
05:33On our return to Rome, we shall issue a papal bull against the lords of Rimini, Pesaro, and Fainz, and against Caterina Sforza, the lady of Fort Lee.
05:44These are our cities.
05:47Cesare will restore them to our care, and we shall declare him the lord of the Romania.
05:55Who can object to that, huh?
05:59Cesare will need the arms of France.
06:02Louis has promised them.
06:04Then Cesare has offered them something in return.
06:08In Naples, they said...
06:10What?
06:14France would have Naples if she could, Holy Father.
06:18That is all I mean.
06:19We shall not permit it.
06:22We are one family.
06:24That's what I came to tell you.
06:26You must return to Rome.
06:28Lucretia's son must be born there.
06:32Joffrey must come as well.
06:35And Sanchez.
06:37I miss a pretty, wicked face.
06:42Sanchez remains in Naples, Holy Father.
06:44Captain Servian will conduct her.
06:46He's Spanish, and the king trusts him well.
06:51You shall all come back to Rome.
06:57You have a mole here.
07:00How thoughtful of God to have given you a mole just here,
07:04so I could find something in you to care for.
07:09What did the French think of our gallant duke, Il Valentino?
07:14You went with him to France.
07:16What did they say of Chez Array?
07:20Must I answer, truly?
07:22Then you know something.
07:25Of course you must.
07:29Some of them mocked.
07:30Why?
07:33They thought he wore too many jewels.
07:35And they called him names.
07:37I never heard that.
07:38Borgia Bullcalf went strutting like a peacock.
07:45They should have called him names.
07:48Chez Array would give the whole of Spain to put a diamond in his hat.
07:52But little Lucrezia would prevent it, because she loves my brother so.
08:01And the Pope, her father, loves her because she flatters him.
08:04But this is interesting.
08:11Look.
08:13Her holy father asks for something more.
08:17One virginity to save the state of Naples.
08:21It's not too great a price.
08:27One hundred and eighty thousand ducats.
08:31That is what we seek.
08:34Twice the budget of the apostolic palace.
08:38It's heavy sum.
08:39The estates of the Caetani family
08:43must be worth as much as death.
08:46Holy father, the treasury has valued their estates at double the sum.
08:50Oh, it does not surprise us.
08:53Such wealth corrupts.
08:56Our spies in Naples
08:57tell us of their plot against us.
09:01We'll be fully justified
09:03and confiscated at length.
09:06Oh, five minutes more.
09:09We have business to attend to.
09:11We must bless the commanders of our army
09:12before they march today.
09:14Captain, I was told Karen Watts.
09:19You have news.
09:21Tell me.
09:21Holy father, it has ended.
09:23What do you say? Speak.
09:24The child is born, holy father.
09:26Madonna sent to tell you.
09:27Oh, oh, oh, oh.
09:30Lucrezia, my child.
09:33Lucrezia.
09:37We are here.
09:39Stand away.
09:41This chamber is endless.
09:42Open the window.
09:42Stand away.
09:45My Lucrezia.
09:47You should not kneel to me.
09:50He has not despised the loneliness of his handmaiden.
09:54Blessed is the fruit of the womb.
09:56Hosanna in excelsis there.
10:13It was a boy.
10:16I knew.
10:19It should be named for you.
10:21Rodrigo.
10:22Rodrigo.
10:23Rodrigo.
10:24Rodrigo.
10:25It was a boy.
10:27You see?
10:29Oh, dulce virgo Maria.
10:32I told you, you would bear a son.
10:35You see?
10:38Oh, dulce virgo Maria.
10:41Ulysses being gone, his lady cried.
10:42And Liodavia panted for a love denied.
10:45Yet do not leave her long or she'll forget your charms.
10:47leave her long or she'll forget your charms
10:50and find her consolation in another's arms.
10:53Fair Helen did so with her husband gone.
10:56His...
11:00Jesus!
11:03You had a son.
11:06Leave us Angelina.
11:10Two weeks ago.
11:12He's strong.
11:15Why have you come to Rome?
11:18I was summoned by our father.
11:23There's been a plot in Rome against his holiness so I was summoned.
11:27Against our father?
11:29Have you spoken to him?
11:31It was nothing.
11:34I'm glad you came to see me.
11:37Why?
11:39Because I love you.
11:44And because I...
11:50I feared.
11:52What?
11:54What did you fear, Lucia?
11:57I feared for us.
11:59For me and Alfonso and for our son.
12:03I fear the French.
12:06You should not fear them.
12:09We have taken Imola for the Holy See.
12:12Now I shall take Forley from Caterina Sforza.
12:16The people do not love her. They gave the town to us.
12:19Soon we shall take the castle from that beautiful and valiant lady
12:22who pays her captains between the pillars of her thighs.
12:28I have an army from King Louis at my command.
12:32Why should you fear the French?
12:33You're not Caterina. You're my sister.
12:36And Alfonso's wife.
12:39You should not listen to what Alfonso tells you.
12:46Alfonso hates me.
12:47No.
12:48I know he plots against me
12:50and seeks to make our father turn away from me.
12:52No.
12:54It's you who've betrayed us.
12:57You've promised Naples to the French.
13:01Alfonso has told me nothing.
13:03It was Captain Sauvignon who said...
13:09Cesare where are you going?
13:14We needn't speak about Alfonso.
13:19You know I love you.
13:20There's so much I want to say.
13:22Why must you go?
13:23I must.
13:24The castle of St. Angelo they hold a prisoner there
13:26who was caught up in the conspiracy to kill the Pope.
13:30A servant of Caterina Sforza's
13:32named Tomasino.
13:35Joffrey's musician.
13:38You see...
13:39it's a dangerous world, Lucio.
13:43Be careful whom you trust.
14:02Tomasino.
14:07He's alive?
14:08Ah, yes.
14:09The Castellan's men have spoiled him.
14:15You must deal gently with him, my lord.
14:26Tomasino.
14:27Tomasino.
14:29I am the Duke Valentino.
14:31And I can help you.
14:35You played the lute.
14:37If I'd been here,
14:38I should not have let them harm your fingers.
14:40My lord.
14:41They will torture you no more.
14:42If you tell me what you know.
14:43I'll tell you everything.
14:44Gently, Tomasino.
14:45There's nothing now to fear.
14:47You know Bautista de Mendolo.
14:49He came to you in Rome.
14:50He was sent...
14:51by our Madonna.
14:52The Madonna of Forley.
14:53The Madonna of Forley.
14:54You know Bautista de Mendolo.
14:55He came to you in Rome.
14:56He was sent...
14:57by our Madonna.
14:58The Madonna of Forley.
14:59He came to you in Rome.
15:00He was sent...
15:01by our Madonna.
15:02The Madonna of Forley.
15:04Caterina Sforza.
15:21He told me...
15:22he would win back a favour towards me.
15:26if I would help him.
15:29He had a message from the citizens of Forley
15:34to deliver personally to the hands of His Holiness the Pope.
15:39You agreed to help him as my brother's servant in the Vatican?
15:44The Chamberlain wanted to take the message from Batista.
15:49It was rolled up and sealed in her case.
15:52Batista became alarmed that the Chamberlain would open it.
15:57And he protested.
15:59So they arrested us.
16:01If I'd known what...
16:03The message was poisoned.
16:05The Madonna had deceived you.
16:08Didn't Batista tell you?
16:09I know nothing more, my Lord.
16:14You do not wish me to hand you back to the Camperland's mansion.
16:22The message was sealed in the case.
16:27It purported to be a document of surrender from the citizens of Forley.
16:31Yes, Madonna.
16:32But surely it was from Caterina.
16:34And poisoned to kill the Pope.
16:37How was it poisoned, Tomasino?
16:39Batista said...
16:41There was plague in the town.
16:44The Madonna laid the message on the body of one who died.
16:50She told him...
16:52The Pope is a god on earth.
16:54You were foolish to try to kill him.
16:57My Lord, I thought I would have died for the Madonna.
17:02You believed yourselves.
17:07Rest, Tomasino.
17:10Tell him to keep him safe.
17:11You may be needed.
17:12My Lord!
17:15There is one in the Pope's guard who mocks you.
17:18You should beware.
17:23Don Juan Servignon.
17:26Yes, I know.
17:32Don Juan.
17:38Don Juan.
17:39Where did you go?
17:41To the house of my nephew, Don Teseo.
17:44I'm almost there.
17:46And you?
17:47You have some business?
17:49With a girl?
17:51No, I have no business.
17:53Except my master's.
17:56It is you, Don Juan, who pleased the ladies.
17:59Even the princess.
18:03As you boast.
18:05You should not believe all you hear.
18:08I wish you well, Michelotto.
18:10Il Capitano.
18:12You are a traitor.
18:14For the love of God!
18:16I have a sword!
18:20No!
18:24But I am Espana.
18:25I am Espana.
18:33Cesare.
18:35What said this?
18:36Everyone knows.
18:38Ask Lucrezia's maids.
18:40Or Sanchez.
18:41They've all heard the stories.
18:42You should not listen to any slanders.
18:44They are not slanders, Holy Father.
18:47But here is Cesare.
18:48He may answer for himself.
18:51Holy Father.
18:53Have you heard, my son?
18:55The body of Captain Servillon
18:58has been found lying in the street.
19:00Closed by the door of his nephew's house.
19:02He was murdered.
19:04No, Holy Father.
19:05I had not heard it.
19:07You gave the order.
19:09If it is true that he was murdered,
19:23I am surprised, Don Alfonso,
19:25you do not claim the deed for yourself.
19:29I cannot believe it,
19:30but I am told that Captain Servillon
19:34boasted he had lain with your sister
19:38and that she doted on him.
19:43Alfonso wouldn't be so foolish
19:45or he would need a stiletto for every second man in Rome.
19:49There's nothing to be gained from talking to Cesare.
19:53I know why you killed him.
19:56Because of what he said in Naples.
20:00That you would need a secret treaty with the French.
20:03And that you promised...
20:04But is this true?
20:07Has Captain Servillon spoken such things in Naples?
20:11I believe he did.
20:12We're much distressed to load this.
20:14You are not my envoy.
20:15Holy Father!
20:16What Captain Servillon said was true!
20:18What are you done?
20:23You will leave our presence, all of you, but Cesare.
20:27So we may speak with him alone.
20:30Such disputes
20:31between the members of our family
20:33distress us deeply.
20:36We shall not permit any treaty
20:38that gives Naples to the French.
20:41Alfonso?
20:42Geoffrey?
20:43You understand?
20:45Yes, Holy Father.
20:46Yes, Holy Father.
20:48You may go now.
20:56At his christening our son was carried to the fault by Captain Servillon.
21:01Did you know?
21:03Then I'm sorry for it.
21:05But for what?
21:09God save you, Cesare.
21:22The artillery is drawn up before the castle of Foley.
21:29I must make ready too.
21:31I came to say farewell.
21:34What a stupid man was Servillon.
21:37He was a soldier.
21:39They are less guarded than women with their tanks.
21:43You must be more careful.
21:46Promise Louis what you want.
21:48But sign no treat that gives him Naples.
21:51We don't like those dealings with the French.
21:54You know that.
21:55I think, Holy Father,
21:57all will go well.
21:59Say that it does.
22:02Cesare.
22:03Bring Caterina Sforza back to Rome.
22:13She was so beautiful when we last saw her.
22:17A brave Madonna.
22:21She'll be sorry.
22:23If she prefers to die.
22:33Fire!
22:47Fire!
22:51Fire!
23:03Let's go.
23:33My lord, the castle is in our hands.
23:42The Lady Catherine has surrendered herself to me.
23:50Thank you, Captain De Laek.
23:53You may leave us.
23:55My lord, I regret that I must make the matter pay.
23:59The Lady of Fourley has given herself into the hands of France.
24:03On this understanding, and with respect, my lord, I take many.
24:23Madonna.
24:24I saw you last on the battlements in armor.
24:29I have been waiting for you my Lord Duke.
24:32There was time enough for me to change my dress.
24:35But you got wet.
24:38The bridge was broken.
24:40I had to cross the moat.
24:42Will you be seated?
24:44I will not.
24:47Very well.
24:49But you were unwise to refuse to surrender the fort.
24:57It's cost you many lives.
24:59I heard how your soldiers behaved in the town.
25:02I could not with honor surrender my people here.
25:05None of your people was abused by my men.
25:07It was done by the French.
25:10I gave the strictest orders.
25:12But you've chosen to surrender yourself to France.
25:15It makes no difference after all.
25:19The French will sell you if only to agree the sum.
25:22Then I trust it will be large.
25:25I'm not accustomed to being bought and sold my Lord.
25:30But if it must be so.
25:35Your boots are wet.
25:37Should you not take them off.
25:43If you choose.
25:45Where's your son?
25:52You think I would be so foolish as to let him fall into your hand?
25:59You're a cold man, Cesare Borgia.
26:04Well fitted to be the bastard of a pope.
26:19Hope.
26:21And you.
26:22The bastard daughter of Milan.
26:24Do you think that I would risk dipping in a well where so many greasy pictures have been before me?
26:36You know me now.
26:37Good Madonna.
26:38I shall conduct you to my quarters in the town.
26:57And rest assured you shall sleep a virgin sleep tonight.
27:00My officers will guard you from the French.
27:04Whether you will or not.
27:08Are you ready?
27:09Yes.
27:10I'm ready.
27:11I'm ready.
27:12I'm ready.
27:13I'm ready.
27:15I'm ready.
27:16I'm ready.
27:17I'm ready.
27:18I'm ready.
27:31We've had no time to remove the bodies.
27:34I'm ready.
27:35I'm afraid that you will have to tread.
27:37I have seen many deaths.
27:39It is not the dead I weep for.
27:41It is the living.
28:04I'm ready.
28:06Oh� flwick.

35:08holiness today
35:09to order the procession
35:11for the vigil
35:11of St Peter and Corp
35:12With such a rage in heaven, it's impossible to keep us with.
35:29It's goodliness.
35:31It's good to be.
35:41It's good to be.
35:57No! No, no, no! No, wait!
36:00Wait for something.
36:02You see?
36:05His holiness is here.
36:08Agrees?
36:09Holiness?
36:11It's not even one word.
36:18We signed the bond.
36:22The Gaetani family will pay the interest.
36:24It's agreed.
36:26Finally, we are on our knees.
36:31It's good to be.
36:33It's good to be.
36:35Oh, gracious.
36:37Amen.
36:39Father?
36:41Yes.
36:42I am well.
36:44Where is your maid, Angelina?
36:47By your side, Holy Father.
36:50Oh, you must sit here.
36:53Close at our side.
36:55We're glad to see you well.
37:00A stroke of lightning brought the chimney down from the roof above.
37:04Yes.
37:05We know what occurred.
37:07Poor Kiji.
37:08His riches availed him nothing.
37:13You thought we should be worm's meat.
37:16Did you?
37:18What would you do?
37:19What are your quarrels then, Alfonso?
37:23Cesare?
37:26Learn to live together.
37:29Life is so sweet.
37:32One day you'll learn.
37:35Life is sweet.
37:38Yes.
37:41I...
37:42I want only you and...
37:45Angelina, please.
37:50I will speak with you later, Holy Father.
37:52Yes, later.
37:58But there is one who has hurried here to seek your blessing.
38:01Do you see?
38:05We see.
38:07Oh, Julia.
38:10You lost your one-eyed husband.
38:13Yes, Holy Father.
38:15If you would let me serve you as I did before.
38:19I should not turn from us.
38:22We made your brother one of the richest men in Rome.
38:26I thank you, Holy Father, for all that you have done.
38:33You were sent.
38:34Hmm?
38:37In case we were dying.
38:45What blessing do you seek?
38:47Hmm?
38:49My uncle Giacomo Gaetane is imprisoned in Sant'Angelo.
38:53His wife begged me to plead for his release.
38:55Giacomo was a trial to us.
38:58He refused to yield up the estates of Salmonetta to the Holy Office when he had conspired against us.
39:07That's the cause of our displeasure.
39:09What?
39:10What?
39:13You remember how beautiful you were when you first gave your love?
39:21Holy Father...
39:22What?
39:23Benedict, Julia.
39:25We shall give orders for your uncle to be released.
39:29Go from us now.
39:31No.
39:39Alfonso!
39:41What's the matter?
39:44Come and kiss me.
39:45Alfonso, where do you not speak?
39:59Giacomo Gaetane is dead.
40:02How did it happen?
40:04He was poisoned.
40:09The Castellan summoned Giacomo's wife and sisters to Sant'Angelo last night.
40:13They were told he had been taken ill, yet...
40:16he was dead.
40:17What makes them think he was poisoned?
40:22Giacomo suspected it before because of the pains he had from taking food.
40:26After that his mother brought everything to the prison herself.
40:30For the past three days the guards have prevented her.
40:34Lacrezia, everyone knows that he was poisoned.
40:37It was not my father.
40:39Is that what they say?
40:41I was there when he promised Giacomo should go free.
40:44Why then should he poison him?
40:45I do not think it was done by the Pope.
40:49I think that it was done by Cesare.
40:53He had no reason.
40:55He had no reason?
40:56So no one will suspect.
40:58That is absurd.
41:00Cesare is right to say that you hate him.
41:02Whenever something terrible happens you always think he's to blame.
41:06That is not what other people will believe.
41:09I care nothing for other people or their opinions.
41:12They'll say it was done for you.
41:13For me?
41:17Your father gave you sermonette.
41:19Giacomo's estates.
41:21If he had released them he could have claimed them back.
41:24But dead men can do nothing.
41:27So I believe Cesare poisoned him for you.
41:31Cesare knows I would not allow it.
41:33Whether you would or not it touches you.
41:36Because you own your gain to him.
41:38It is a debt in blood which you cannot disclaim.
41:43So people will believe.
41:49Cesare is a thing of darkness.
41:51He will drag us all into the pit.
41:53You and the Pope.
41:55Alfonso.
41:57This isn't true.
41:59Let me speak to Cesare.
42:01I wish he was dead.
42:02Alfonso.
42:03You were happy when he was nothing wrong.
42:05I wish he was...
42:06You must not say such things.
42:07No, no, I must not say them.
42:15But it is true.
42:20We were happy when we were alone.
42:23Help!
42:41Help me!
42:48Help me!
42:51Help me!
42:53Help me!
42:55Help me!
42:57Help me!
42:58Help me!
43:00Help me!
43:01Help me!
43:04Assist me to my house!
43:06Support him. Take his arm.
43:08We must be cushioned.
43:13Therefore, we assure your grace...
43:16that we shall speedily...
43:19you heard her cry.
43:20I'm not sure, Lordy Father.
43:23He's dying.
43:25What?
43:26Alfonso's been attacked in the street.
43:28He'll bleed to death.
43:29I know he will.
43:31See what's the matter.
43:33Oh, my dear.
43:35Oh, my dear.
43:37Is the doctor with him?
43:39Yes, Sanchez with me.
43:41I came to tell you who could have wanted.
43:45He was so good.
43:48It's true.
43:50He was attacked on the steps of the basilica by a group of men who rode away.
43:54I've seen his wounds.
43:56They are being dressed.
43:58I think that he will live.
44:00He will live.
44:02I must go to him.
44:04I shall never leave his side again.
44:07No one shall ever...
44:09You say there were armed men.
44:15Cesar, you did not try to kill, did you?
44:19No.
44:21But if I had, it would have been no more than he deserved.
44:24The king of Naples will not forgive it.
44:27Pray God, he will be saved.
44:30I shall put a guard upon his room.
44:32You understand it?
44:35Yes.
44:38It's sad one cannot see the gardens from this room.
44:44Only the castors and Angelo.
44:47And the gentlemen of Rome making water against its walls.
44:56Did you know?
44:58Men with humps are supposed in legend to be virile.
45:03Sanchez, you talk of nothing but that.
45:05There's nothing else he knows.
45:07There's nothing else he knows.
45:08Hoo hoo hoo hoo.
45:23What is it? Why have you come?
45:25We come from your brother.
45:26He requests the Duke of Izzelli to come with us.
45:30No.
45:31God!
45:33Hold these men!
45:35We have no weapons.
45:37Look at you.
45:39All will be well.
45:41Go to the Pope.
45:42Tell him that Cesare's men are here.
45:44He must come.
45:46And go quickly.
45:50Fine, Cesare.
45:51Tell him that if he wants me, he must come and get me himself.
45:59Hold these men here.
46:00And do not let them move.
46:02His Holiness has ordered you.
46:06Play.
46:07Put up your swords.
46:30Put up your swords.
46:37No!
46:38No!
46:43No!
46:44Lucretia!
46:47He tried to kill me.
46:49I saw him from the window.
46:51No!
46:53I thought so!
46:54No!
47:04You've seen nothing.
47:08Stan.
47:24No!
47:42My Lord, what shall we do with the body?
47:46There's not a mark on him.
47:48It's very well done.
47:49Take you to the chapel of Santa Maria in the Basilica.
47:51Wait for me there.
47:54Bring him.
48:06Bring him.
48:15Quero te conmigo.
48:19I'm here.
48:24Well, how's the answer?
48:33The women...
48:34Lock the door.
48:36Sanchez with Lucretia will not let us speak.
48:39She should be sent to Naples.
48:41Naples?
48:43What shall we do?
48:45How do we inform the king?
48:47You tell him his nephew meant to kill me.
48:48I saw him at the window with a crossbow in his hand.
48:52You think Frederico will believe that?
48:55I think, Holy Father, that those who mean to kill me will remember it.
48:58Caesar or nothing?
48:59I choose my way.
49:01There is no other course.
49:03And if we do not choose to follow?
49:04Then, Holy Father, you must do what you will.
49:05What I will!
49:07I have not done that since I was a boy.
49:10Among the olive groves in Spain, my heart is still there.
49:13Caesar.
49:14What did you promise, Louis?
49:15You must tell me.
49:16And tell me now.
49:18I promised Naples to France for Louis's support in winning the Romagna.
49:21So it was true.
49:22Yes!
49:23You have no right to make such a treaty.
49:24Go your way, Cesare.
49:25I was a boy.
49:26Among the olive groves in Spain.
49:27My heart is still there.
49:28Caesar.
49:30What did you promise, Louis?
49:31You must tell me.
49:32And tell me now.
49:36I promised Naples to France for Louis's support in winning the Romagna.
49:43So it was true.
49:44Yes!
49:46You have no right to make such a treaty.
49:49Go your way, Cesare.
49:51And you...
49:52You'll go alone.
49:54I write now to the king.
49:56And tell him what we have done.
49:57To your own house and family.
49:59You charge me.
50:00But the murder?
50:01Yes!
50:02When the murder?
50:03Then I will answer!
50:04For it was not the first.
50:05I will answer not only for Alfonso's death but for my brother's.
50:09You've not forgotten the reason that Juan died.
50:13The nuns of San Sisto care for an infant who is now two years old.
50:18Giovanni.
50:23I have committed crimes.
50:24I will confess.
50:26But there is one I have not committed.
50:28I would protect the honor of this house and make the name of Borgia great.
50:43Long after we are dust.
50:45It is you Holy Father who must decide whether we bow to fate or else defy it.
50:52I must see Lucrezia.
51:04She has a fever.
51:07Half dead from weeping.
51:15You saw Alfonso at the window with a crossbow in his hand.
51:20Aimed at your heart.
51:22Yes, Holy Father.
51:25I should write a sword to the king.
51:28But there will be nothing between us and Naples from this day forth.
51:32And that's why you killed him.
51:34And that's why you killed him.
52:02And that's why you killed him.
52:08Who's there?
52:09His Holiness.
52:18Holy Father, is it you?
52:19Yes.
52:21I'll reflect it.
52:25You shall see.
52:33Do not weep.
52:35Do not weep.
52:36He's in prison.
52:38Tell me.
52:40Yes.
52:41They were put to the torture.
52:43The hunchback and the doctors who attended him.
52:46Michelotto.
52:48Ramiro.
52:49And Cesare.
52:52Well, Holy Father, tell her what you have done with Cesare.
52:57Leave this chamber.
52:58We command you.
52:59Now you shall hear the truth.
53:00We banish you to Naples.
53:04Leave on this instant.
53:05Or you'll be flogged.
53:07Stick of corruption.
53:09I would not stay in Rome now if all the college of cardinals were on their knees.
53:15Ask him, Lucrezia.
53:17Ask him why he does not challenge Cesare with your husband's murder.
53:22And you will see how evil a man can be.
53:27Ask him.
53:28Ask him.
53:29Ask him why our holy mother church shields the assassin.
53:33Ask him!
53:35Ask him!
53:37Ask him!
53:38Ask him!
53:42Ask him!
